“…[7] During the last few decades, various homogeneous, heterogeneous and organometallic systems with special ligands have been developed for the Heck cross-coupling reaction. [8][9][10] Most of them suffer from drawbacks such as tedious multistep synthesis and work-up, air-and moisture-sensitive ligands, expensive, unstable and toxic ligands such as phosphine, and use of various additives and harmful solvents. [11,12] Also, a diverse array of organic and inorganic supports, such as polymers, carbon, clay, ordered silicates and zeolites, have been used as hosts for palladium nanoparticles in cross-coupling reactions.…”
